I'm the Editorial Director here at the Hive - the Julie on this Love Boat. TURN-ONS: retro wallpaper; flirty sundresses (on others, not myself); sharing. TURN-OFFS: carbs; substandard shelving; hate. LOOKING FOR: Hivers who tell me all their great ideas. Email me at spellingbee@stylehive.com. Because it takes a Hive.
My total body transformation has kicked into high gear. I am at the halfway point, and just this morning, I weighed in at 158.6 pounds! Which means I’ve lost 6 pounds in three weeks! But here’s the thing, I’ve also gained a ton of muscle mass in my shoulders, back, and midsection, so my total weight loss is definitely even more than 6 pounds. And the most important thing - I am as strong and limber as I was in high school when I played soccer, which was a loooooong time ago. All thanks and credit go to Clay and Elizabeth Burwell at High Performance in New York, who took on the daunting challenge of turning my pudge into pugilistic power! But Clay and Elizabeth have some little friends I want you to meet that have also been integral to shaping my superphat physique…
There are few reliable markers that separate the wannabe celebs from the real deal. Wannabes and For Reals are both all over Entertainment Tonight misbehaving. Wannabes and For Reals are both all over fashion sites (like this one) wearing the latest designers. Wannabes and For Reals drive expensive cars, live in Hollywood mansions, and sit front row at the fashion shows. So what separates the famous from the faux? A mannequin at Madame Tussaud’s. Fashion mogul Tyra Banks and troubled songstress Amy Winehouse both got the waxy treatment last week. Photo credit: PR Photos
My extreme makeover from cute-and-cuddly to cut-and-killer is underway. I have left Philip Seymour Hoffman‘s body in the dust, and am in ”Jack Black when he’s been working out” territory. My weight has dropped from 164.4 lbs to 161.4 lbs. My favorite shorts now fall to my ankles without a belt. And my face is so noticeably thinner that my weekly tennis partner asked me if I was ill. To which I replied. “Only if by ‘ill’ you mean totally on the road to bufftown, dude!” Then he thrashed me 6-1, 6-1. Read on for how my High Performance workouts are going, and click my slideshow of clothes I will soon be able to wear!
To be dumped is hard. To be dumped by George Clooney after serving him as a cocktail waitress in Las Vegas, then dating for two years, living in his villa in Italy, and having several of his friends telling you that you are THE ONE, has got to be damned near soul crushing. So to be able to get up off the mat, wash your face, put on your Friday night best, and go host a party at Tao, in the same city where you and Georgie boy met, well that takes serious guts. That’s what Sarah Larson did this past weekend. Photo credit: PR Photos
Everyone tells me I look like Philip Seymour Hoffman. Which is fine, he’s cool. But I want to look like Sting, circa 1982. So who do I go to for a total body transformation? The husband-and-wife personal trainer team who own High Performance. They fell in love in boxing class. Need I say more? Here’s the catch. They’ve only got six weeks to get my pudgy ass into rock star shape. Because in six weeks, New York Fashion Week starts. And this season, I will not be the fattest dude at the tents. So READ MORE for more about my trainers Elizabeth and Clay (like the fact he trained Matt Damon), click the SLIDESHOW for pics of my humiliating Week 1, and watch a quick VIDEO for a snippet of me struggling to use my stomach for something other than luring nachos to their death.
“I Am SCREEEEEEEEEEEEEAMing right now! This is soooo exciting, I am on just crazy tickled this is such an honor! OMG OMG OMG OMG

Kelly Ripa thought she was the fastest high-heeled hottie in the land. The mom-of-three was soooo confident nobody could beat her in a stiletto sprint, she sponsored a mad dash for $25,000 in cash in New York’s Central Park! The contest, broadcast live on Live With Regis and Kelly, had 500 women (and 11 dudes in heels - 12 in including moi) turn out to make Kelly eat their dust. Did Kelly win? Did Regis? Did I? You’ve got to watch the video to find out!

These are hard times for fashionistas. Unemployment is up, which means fewer paychecks to save up buy the new It Bag. Gas prices are up, which means driving to the mall eats into purchasing power.

Like the crystal clear water of a gurgling mountain stream down an undiscovered mountain in a distant untouched land, Stylehive’s see-through accessories bring purity and freshness to your look, practically screaming “I have nothing to hide! I am an open book! Honesty is the best policy!” Like that. Stylehivers teeavigee and sugarshow found these supercool transparent accessories.
Stylehive has the coolest furniture on the Web. What makes it so great is the sheer variety. Lots of sites have a bunch of trendy modern furniture, or a bunch of fun retro furniture, or a floor full of Swedish designs. Stylehive has all of these and more - because our users have so many different tastes. Want proof? Check out the completely off-the-wall and totally different seats that Stylehivers artiststundra and akuba Hived!
Stylehiver AuntBee knows shoes. She hived a pair of Alexander McQueen couture stilettos described as “so criminal they will make others crawl at your feet with desperate desire.” Alrighty then. But Stylehiver artiststundra, not to be outdone, Hived some Christian Louboutin open toes that are THE most popular item in the Hive this month - PERIOD!
Now that Apple has cut the price of the iPhone in half (to $199) and promises much speedier downloads with their new phone service, you must go out and purchase frivolous iPhone accessories to celebrate. Not normal, useful, well-thought-out accessories like protective cases, Bluetooth headsets, and cigarette lighter adapters. I’m talking iPaparazzi lenses, iPurses, and iStools. Yes, iStools. With subwoofers.
